Films:

Captain America: The First Avenger: Am I the only one who was amused by super tiny and skinny with a massive head Chris Evans? I basically could’t watch Civil War without watching the previous two movies soooo I still need to watch Winter Soldier.

Måns Zelmerlöw – Heroes:Much like how Loreen’s Euphoria had a slower re-arrangement for the opening act the year after she won in 2012, I actually enjoy this 2016 ESC version of Heroes better.

Dami Im – Sound of Silence:People be angry at politics but POLITICS ALMOST DID SOMETHING RIGHT BY VOTING FOR AUSTRALIA TO [ALMOST] WIN EUROVISION 2016 LOL.

Sergey Lazarev – You Are the Only One:Admittedly, this song is actually quite catchy that I understand why it won the top prize in public voting. But it’s literally a hodge podge of lyrics that don’t make sense and an amalgam of effects from recent years.

I really need to watch Game of Thrones. I feel like I am missing out on something amazing. My sister is borrowing her friend’s HBO account information, so I am going to get it from her to use too LOL. So hopefully I can start it really soon!
I need to catch up on Orphan Black again. I think I’m behind two episodes again. OOPS! But this season is so good so far.
BY THE WAY!! Big Brother US starts this month!

IMO: Game of Thrones really stepped up their game after 2 meh seasons (except for last seasons episode 8 iirc). Let me know when you watch it because each episode (now) ends on a “HOLY SHIT I HAVE TO TWEET MY THOUGHTS NOWWWW” moment; which is what made Twitterverse/social media extremely angry cause people have no chill and no filter when it comes to spoilers.

I will definitely let you know when I watch Game of Thrones. If it’s like you say it is and it’ll make me want to tweet right after then you’ll see my tweets and know too hah. I think that’s the most annoying thing about social media. I’m kind of always glued to my phone, so when I have to avoid Twitter it’s sad. Even Goodreads, especially since A Court of Mist and Fury came out. I’m looking forward to that one, but every other Goodread update was about it and spoilers. So I stopped scrolling through Goodreads feed.

I will be so angry if they do battle of the block. I hate battle of the block. It’s the stupidest twist they’ve ever done. I read something about how they were looking for mock house guests. I’m curious about what that’s about.

I watch every single teeny-bopper show you can imagine because why not LOL. But yes, that happened, and I primed myself via news reports prior to the events so I was would be less painful. But TBH, I miss the character more after the fact than I really cared for them during the show. (Yes, I’m speaking very generically so as to not spoil anything).

The damage has already been done. I’ve already come across the spoilers, sigh. But, to be honest, I probably won’t revisit the show. There was sooo much drama. And Mary was with so many men (I think 4??) in like two seasons. 😮

Oh crap. I’m behind on my TV watching. I need to catch up with Awkward now!!! I never did get a chance to watch more than an episode or two of Faking It this season, so maybe I’ll skip it. I KNEW you would love that Blacklist reunion, tho! 😉

LOL, I told you that’s how Awkward would end. MTV is predictable like that.
I loved Season 2 of Daredevil even more than the first one, so I hope you can watch it soon. Karen and Frank were just fantastic!!!!!
Whaaaat? Faking It is canceled? I thought it was on mid-season break … 😦
I totally had the same feelings about Reign – MASH FOREVER!

I hate how you were right but I also hate how I believed it could go any other way. So lame. I would have been okay if they kept their relationship somewhat consistent but it was a hodge podge of drama for Matty and Jenna.

Did you watch Faking It “finale”? It was so bad how it ended there. Like, there’s no closure AT ALL.

Yeah, I did watch the Faking It finale, truly believing that it was only the season finale. I am kind of sad about that one, but MTV keeps cancelling stuff I like, such as Eye Candy … I am just majorly grateful that Shannara is still on.

oh, those books were not good for you =/, that’s too bad. Also, skinny Chris Evans is hilarious, and you need to watch The Winter Soldier, for me it’s the best movie of Marvel so far. Did you enjoy The first avenger?

Oh my god, I love Reign!! I’m a big Mary and Francis fan but I love Bash too… although, haven’t you heard that Torrance Combs won’t be on the show for most of season 4. There is supposed to be several new suitors for Mary. Great wrap-up as always, Joey.

RIGHT. You can Google it, but I’m pretty sure that he’s only going to be in the beginning because there’s only a few episodes in season 3 left. I do know that’s there’s going to be new suitors, which ruins Mash. But the scene in front of Greer’s business had me squealing like an idiot, so good!!

Is it just me or has this season of Game of Thrones been so much better than the previous ones. It’s like now that they aren’t chained by the books as much they have the freedom to kind of explore the dynamics I’ve been waiting for. I mean that reunion will never not make me emotional. I’m never holding a door for anyone again! I’m quite happy that some of my theories were correct, so I think a pat on the back is deserved haha. The only downside is that I don’t really care for Dany. I though bringing back the Dothraki would make things a bit more interesting but it didn’t. The dragons are the best part of her story haha.
